I bought these earbuds along with 4 other pairs, with the intent of comparing them over a couple weeks and returning all but my favorite. Here were the results: Beats Fit Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JL65GNM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Pros – These buds had some great base, and the wingtip gave them a fit that made them refuse to fall out of my ears. But the best feature? Physical “clicky” buttons on each one of the buds. You press in and hear/feel the click, rather than relying on a touchscreen-like feature. No need to guess if you tapped them once or twice, you will know. Cons – The wingtip gives a very sturdy fit, but not the most comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone with smaller ears. The noise canceling was solid, but nothing special. And this may be picky, but I didn’t care for most of the color schemes available. I prefer my earbuds to be hard to notice, and even the black ones have a bright red letter “b” in the middle. Beats Studio Buds - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096SV8SJG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Pros – Very comfortable with the same great physically “clicky” buttons as the Beats Fit Pro. Noise canceling seemed slightly better than average. Great base. Classic look. Cons – Tested during a workout, a little bit of sweat had these sliding right out of my ear. The case for these earbuds also was the flimsiest of any I had tested, with a very weak hinge that I was scared of breaking off within the 2 weeks of using. Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWZHHKP?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Pros – A neat feature that I noticed only in these earbuds was that it had noise amplification as well as noise cancelation. With one swipe in the app, the surrounding sound was actually louder and clearer than it would be without the earbuds in. Great if you are hard of hearing, or just enjoy snooping on conversations out of reach. Cons – Similar to the Beats Studio Buds, these didn’t stay in during a workout. They were usable, but every 10 minutes I found myself pushing them back into my ear. And this is an opinion, but these are the ugliest earbuds out of the bunch. The shiny black gleam made it look like a large beetle was hanging out in my ear. No visible brand placement either, which makes them appear cheap and generic rather than the quality Samsung they are. Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TBM1L3S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Pros – Cost effective! I added these to the test group because of the unique shape, and for that they are worth giving a try. If you have small ears and do not like the rubber insert that is standard in most other earbuds, these may be perfect for you. Cons – Poor fit for large ears. These were tested the least of all of the buds, because the fit was so bad for my ear shape that they wouldn’t stay in if I turned my head too fast. Bose QuietComfort - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4KWM9T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Pros – Bose noise canceling is unmatched. If your primary use for earbuds is to cancel out that background white noise, this is the pair for you. The sound quality is great, not too heavy on the base. The case for the earbuds stood out from the rest as the only one that impressed me. Felt very study, and I had no worries tossing it into a gym bag or cup holder. The only case with a button latch to make sure it doesn’t open accidentally. Cons – This was the most expensive pair of earbuds by a longshot, and there were still some things I felt could be improved. The rubber inserts had more of a “flayed” shape rather than the “rounded” shape that is standard. My guess is that this was by design, because the earbuds were also slightly heavier than others and may need that extra in-ear grip. The flayed shape did make them sturdier, but at the cost of them being uncomfortable in an active situation. They were also the largest earbuds, and stuck out from the side of my head further than I would have liked. My favorite? The beats fit pro! While I wouldn’t recommend this pair for everyone, it was perfect for my routine. My music taste benefits from the boosted base, and the wingtip shape was perfect for any workouts. The feature that really convinced me was the physical buttons, something that I didn’t realize how desperately I needed.

Dear Beats, I bought this headset for my wife in black. It was easy to pair and you can use either the left or the right earbud by itself which is nice because when one earbuds runs out of battery you can use the other one for a few hours. The case takes a lightening adapter and charges fully regardless of what kind of power brick you’re using. For the price these are a good deal. Pairing was as easy as open the lid next to your iPhone and then follow the on screen steps. Charges fully in about a couple of hours and will last you 20+ hrs with the case. The only thing I wished it had was qi wireless charging ability otherwise, these are nice for the price. Almost a month later… I am using these headsets for my M1 MBA and my iPhone 13Pro. One nice thing about this is that you can switch devices within a matter of seconds and a push of a button either on your iPhone or your MacBook. Second nice thing is that you can use the headset individually. One earbud could be in your ear and the other one in the case. It doesn’t matter which on you use first but I’ve been using the right one, depleting it, and then put it back into the case to charge when I’m not using it and switch to the left one. The case holds a good amount of charge. With average use, the case can charge the earbuds fully about twice before everything needs to be charged. Tapping on the earbuds pauses whatever you’re listening to or watching. The right bud is for increasing volume and the left bud is to decrease volume. You have to push and hold down for the volume to change. It charges via usb c which is nice. It also sound pretty good when just using it for talking. Overall, I am happy with the headsets.

Very good sound quality wish the battery life was a little better. At full volume it realistically gets about 6 hours on a charge which isn't terrible. I'd like them to get 8 at any volume that is why I gave it a 4 on battery life. Now on to the main reason I left a review I accidentally put the case and buds though the wash and surprisingly it still works great. I know it says sweat resistant but being submerged in water and surviving was totally unexpected.

These are my favorite earbuds by far. Once you find the best fit for your ears, they just feel comfortable and you don’t even remember you have them in. The sound quality is very good, and same with the noise cancellation. I’ve used AirPods, and AirPods Pro, but I think the Beats Studio buds beat them for sure. And if you’re like me, I don’t like when people can hear my music when I blast it loud, but these don’t do that! I think they’re overall well-rounded earbuds

These are simply wireless earbuds. They function just as well as every other brand or better, and though I haven't used other brands, this has served me well. It connects easily and it even connects automatically to my phone now, although I honestly don't know how this happens and there aren't any settings for it to connect automatically. I use them every day at work and I've found that the earbuds can last continuously without charge for about 4 hours, so if you use them one at a time and switch them out regularly, they will last an entire day. The noise cancellation is very good, although it only really works if something is being played in the earbuds, but white noise works just as well as heavy metal, so it should work fine no matter who you are. Be careful when using both earbuds however, since you literally can't hear outside sounds if you have both earbuds in and noise cancelling, so if someone is trying to get your attention, you probably won't notice unless you can see them. If you have noise transparency on and both earbuds, then you can only understand outside language on low volume, but can hear more than with noise cancelling. Overall, noise cancelling and noise transparency aren't incredibly distinct, and it will mostly depend on how many earbuds you're wearing and how loud your audio is. Most of the time, only wearing one earbud is better because you can still interact with people and the battery lasts longer, but you can get better sound quality with two earbuds. You can still get audio if the source of the audio is across the room, in another room, or in a pocket, but if there are too many or too thick obstructions, they won't work. If you drop them, they will scratch, but almost definitely won't have their performance affected. Overall, the earbuds work great and they're worth it to get.

These were bought as a gift for my boyfriend to replace his dying generation 1 AirPods. He loved them. I have the AirPods Pro and they are great but very expensive and honestly have their own set of issues. Just search the replacement program. The Beats are just like the AirPods; actually, they are still built by Apple. You just don't get the smart features like smart device switching and the force sensor button. If you're looking to save a bit from the pros go for these. You won't notice any difference.

What I like about them, literally everything. They work perfectly, sound quality is great its amazing noise cancellation. I got no complaints for this item. They are very comfortable, the battery last very very long for both earpieces and charging case but of course they're new that might change with time. Definitely recommend for anyone who sees them and wants to get some new ones we'll get yourself some you are going to love them. And if you get them lost they have a feature for that...

I’ve had 4 different sets of Bluetooth headphones and these are definitely the easiest to connect, best sounding pair I’ve owned. My right ear bud seems to not have noise canceling, or I just can’t get it sealed in my ear properly. I’m honestly not sure. But it’s not bad enough to return them. My son tried them and now wants a pair too.

For someone who listens to music the majority of the day, this is an ideal buy. First beats I owned and definitely a fan. The noise cancellation works well in a busy warehouse setting and almost cancels out the noise made when planes take off(work related). It also allowed me to hear more from the songs that were already favorites with its amazing sound quality. Highly recommend

Love my AirPods Pro but the tips don’t stick as well as the non pro AirPods do for me. Got these on a sale to use at the gym and switch off between the AirPods Pro’s. Comfort is is great, connectivity is quick and close to as reliable as the AirPod pros (in my experience at least). Battery life has been great and they charge super quick in the pouch (my Powerbeats pros are hit and miss when I put them in the case and sometimes I’ll pull them out and one earphone will have zero charge, despite the case being 100%). Great esrbuds for the price
